CHICAOO , Jan. 2.-Wth ! gold bringing JVio per cent picmlum In New York , ac cording to reports circulated hctc , whcal became very weak here , nnd closed with a lews of lo per lui. flnce Tuesday afternoon Corn nnd oata were sympithctlcnlly weak , but provisions struck a path for Itself and closed with gains In all the speculative com modities In the line of hog products. The buying spirit with whlOi the wheat maikol closed up the old year had nil disappeared when trading was Innugutated on this , the first buglne.'i day of 1R96. May opened nl CDVJc , but vfry llttlo could be disposed of nt the % c reduction , nnd touched 6SKc hefoto moro buyers than sellers appeared In the market. The prlmniy reason for change In feeling thus revealed was Ilradstrect'B In- creise In the vMblc supply for a week , 1- I77.WO I u. as a nl at the 000,000 bu. Increase In the olllclnl statement of the stocks in Bight , the op nlng .quotations cabled from Liver pool showing only yd advance since Tues day , and the stocks In thnt port a decrease of only 52S.OOO bu. since Novembui 3(1. ( About noon a report received from New York thnt Jtl',000,000 gold was coming thin way from London helped the crowd to realize thnt they had scared too i-nsllv nt the opening. The Minneapolis nnd Utiliith receipts plnce Tues day were then as only 421 car loads , com pared with 1.2M a week ago on the day CUP- cccdlng Chilstmns. The total clearances from the four principal Atlantic ports were equivalent to nbout KO.WO bu. Minneapolis wired early In the day thnt there wcie hnreliy any otu-imgs nr wneat mere aim uie Hccoml cablegram brought quotations show ing another ' /id ndv.iucc * at Liverpool and n rlsa of yd at London. The day's news ns ti whole was more fa\otablo for an advance than n decline , but the tpectilators were evi dently not Inclined to view It thnt wny for after tallying temporarily , from the bottom of the Iliflt break to fcOJAo. It was tlown again In n ic at 12:15 : o'clock. After declining to GS'.c ' near the end , the closing trades were fiom .Wic ! to 584p. Business In coin was light. The feeling was heavy on account of the lack of demand In the cash department of the trade. The May price fell fiom 28'c { near the start to 2774 nnd 2Sc nt thu cloie. Trading In oats was plow nnd the range In the price for Mnv wns confined to ' .fcc per bu. The heavy fueling In wheat nnd coin helped to make oiitw heavy. Comptred with Tuesday's clotlng rate , May left oft today at 3-lfic decline. Provisions opened weak , but lecovercd nnd became both strong and moderately ac tive. Hcsldcs some Inquiry by shorts there appeared to be some buying for long ac count , the result of which wns the spread of a more confident feeling among the traders and the rise already rcfcirpd to ns having followed an early decline. The price of pork Is higher than It closed on Tuesday by Co In January and 20c In May.

Z. The first business day o the new jear on the New York Stock exchang was not especially conspicuous In nny particular dullness cxcepicd. In common with all othe financial marko's , the stock speculation wa contractfd by expectation of the new governmcn bond lfiif , nnd by n manctary condition thn allows the Importation nnd exportation of goli nt the rame time and nt a profit In either trans action. Of course the Importations of gold am the premium now reported to be ruling on the > ellow mHal nre made profitable only on accoun of the forthcoming Icsuc. The bonds , accord Ing to the general Impression , will be fold n so low a rale us to abundantly Justify the pnj ment of n etlft premium for the gold to be turned Into the treasury In exchange Ihcrefoi. The ex portntlon of gold , though profitable at ruling Hsurrs , would be less lenumcralhe. Hence , In Mead of the metal being sent out on exchange operation ! " , u in Imported ns commodity. Tills Is nn anomalous condition of nftalis. In the early dealings , the market proved supc rlor tn the receipt of disturbing news from Lon don , denoting n moderate scare on the part o Invcstois nt that center , owing to the filibuster Ing raid Into the Transvaal nnd anxiety as lethe the possible compllcntlcns lo arise In consequence T.ie prices of American securities were also re ported ' ,4 to ] ij per cent loner. In the local mar kel , however , prlcea at the outset Improvec from 1 lo 2H per cent , Tobacco , Northwestern Lake Shore. Louisville & Nashville. Chicago Gas and New Jfrpey Central and fractions In the other shares traded In. The dealings were light , however , after the Hrst half hour. Dlssillsfactlon over the delay In launching the government bond Issue was reflected In n sagRlni tendency nf values , cauplng the IOFS of the enilv linpnnonicnt. The volume of buslncps was ex- iremely light and but llt'lc or no news bearing upon the values 'wne to hand , except ROSS p legardlng the estimated amount of gold on the way from Europe , nnd the course of the mono ) market. ll Was reporled that fiom J2,000,0 to 3,000,000 had been consigned In the ncgicKnte to two firms In this city , but they would neither confirm nor deny the stnlemcnts made. U Is understood that a fairly active bnslners VM.S done In cold nt premiums of from 1 to 111 per cent. Mcney rn call was active nt from 4 to 10 per cent. The greater part of the business was done at from 6 to 8 per cent , and the clop- Ing figure was nt the lowest of the day. Thp piespuro to sell later foicetl many stocks below Tucudiy'B flnnl figures , nnd cspec'n'.ly In the KIanger group.

( Special. ) That portion of the state lying along the rldga which sepirates the Missouri from the Jim and which received so great a backset during the drouth period six > eara agot \ now the most prosperous region of the state. llpports from the b'siiks ' at lllunt , Hlghmorc and other towns In Hi OP , Hughes , Sully , Hand and other counties state that not since 1SS5 have the peopls had so much money or I'ceu generally In such good condition , This change has come about through aban doning the raiding ot sin ill grain and general crops and the turning to stock and dallying. Judge A. N. Van Camp of Hlghmore , who Is In tlio city , states that the growth ot the cattle business has ben phenomenal , tic says : "Six years ago not a carload of cattle was shipped from Hlghmoro. This season wo have chipped ICO carloads. Uvcry farmer has a bunch of stock am ] Is making money. The range Is practically free. There Is no grain raising , and the farmers put In only crop enough to furnish feed for fattening or for severe winter weather. Krom this cause thcro ar ? few fences and the cattle run at large. This Is true not only of Hyde county , but of all the fiirrcmndlng counties on the rlilgc. There Is big money In the cattle , and the farmers me more prosperous than they luivc been since the settlement of the country. "The next greatest source of rovomio Is from dairying and tlie growth of this has been remarkable during the pa t two or thrco j ears. This year wo shlppd from Illghmore'to Chicago 140,000 pounds of dairy butter. There are now n round lllghmore twenty hand separators , and many more have been ordered. These machines get out of the milk from 25 to 30 per cent more cream thin will bo raised In the old fash ioned way , and we get another advantage , for we feed the milk warm to hogs and calves , nnd they get 30 to 40 per cent more benefit than drinking the mlllc cold , ns used to bo the way when the cream was skimmed Every farmer has from twelve to fifteen cows and one , W. P. Pitlgo , has thirty-nine. Ordinary dairy butter sells In Hlghmoro foi ID cents a. pound , but I sold my separator butter this year In Chicago for 22 cents. Deducting freight , tubbing nnd commission , this left me IS'A cents net. This S2parator butter stands on n par with the product of the creameries and there Is an unlimited market for It. The farmers are realizing the value of the separator nnJ the number will Increase from 30 to 40 per cent tha coming year. "In dairying \vo do not seek to use the greatest butter producers. Wo are con stantly improving the quality of our stock , but choose mixed breeds , which glva us both butter and beef. We do llttlo Irrigating on the ridge. The cost of sinking the wells Is much more than In the vnllejs and the Mow Is less powerful. The farmer * are put ting down wells , but they are small and are us'd mostly for stock watering or for Irrigating the small patches of ciops used In the house or for fcd. Wo believe that there Is more- " money in stock , hogs and dairying.
